Learn the art of storytelling without spoken dialog or sound and channel your inner Charlie Chaplin!
Silent films were once the only movies, and they set the stage for all modern cinema – from Disney animations to action blockbusters. Together we will create classic black-and-white short silent films from start to finish! We will devise, write, storyboard, shoot, and act in our own original works. Camp will conclude with a red-carpet premiere of our work on the silver screen!
The Scoundrel & Scamp’s four-week youth theatre camp during the month of June is designed to be accessible as either a modular two-week session or a month-long deep dive into stories, tales, and imagination. Scamps can easily participate in one or both sessions!
Session 2: Scamps on the Silver Screen: Acting and the Art of Silent Films will culminate in an evening showcase of the camper-created silent film(s), and we’ll close out the summer with a “cast party” for all campers and their families.
